DOLCE VITA ON THE HILL

-

A LIBRARY HOUSING 10,000 PRECIOUS VOLUMES, A PRIVATE GARDEN AND SUITES THAT SEEM LIKE ROMANTICAL COVES OF THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY. TO EXPERIENCE A STAY UNDER THE BANNER OF THE "NOBLESSE" OF YESTERYEAR . THIS IS VILLAS PALLETTI TRIVELLI The Gardens of the Quirinale Palace are one of the green lungs of the historic centre of Rome. Four hectares of secular park are hidden behind the facade of the residence of the President of the Republic, but the same are overlooked by 6 of the 14 rooms of Villa Spalletti Trivelli. The proximity to what at the beginning of the twentieth century was still the residence of the Savoys, the Quirinale, was almost a natural choice for Gabriella Rasponi. Gioacchino Murat and Carolina Bonaparte’s niece, as well as widow of Count Spalletti Trivelli, Senator of the Kingdom, she loved surroundin­g herself with political

and cultural personalit­ies, Nobel prizes and writers, welcoming them in her parlour, also as President of the National Council of Italian

“The uniqueness of Villa Spalletti Trivelli lies in being a private villa in front of the Quirinale Palace which offers all the services of a 5-star hotel, guaranteei­ng its guests privacy and tranquilit­y at the highest levels within walking distance of all the masterpiec­es that make the city of Rome so unique in the world" Andrea Spalletti, Owner

Women. For this reason, she had her beloved residence built here, on the Hill, which today as then, welcomes travellers from all over the world: they are all fascinated by the authentic atmosphere­s, objects and memorabili­a that tell of a past which is the memory of Andrea Spalletti, the latest "guardian” of home traditions. Since 2004, the villa has in fact been used as a charming hotel, offering the kind of services and small attentions that are impossible to classify with the "stars": sheets of fine Flanders linen, cashmere stoles, paintings and furniture that fill the environmen­ts with warmth, memories, to be read like the more than 10,000ancient­volumes preserved in the Library, embellishe­d by a period boiserie which is bound by the CulturalHe­ritage. Such details will make your stay special in each of the rooms, it may be a Romantic Room or one of the larger GrandDelux­eSuites, in addition to the two GardenSuit­es, located in a period building next door but connected to the hotel through the Italian-stylegarde­ns of the villa.An oasis of relaxation like the new wellness centre provided with Turkish bath, gym and treatment cabin on request.
